At CES 2012, Samsung introduced an amazing 46″ LCD transparent television with touch controls.

My office of the future will definitely have one of these.

Check out Core77′s post about it.

Math and I don’t get along all that well, even on simple formulas. So that is why I love this “rule of thumb” from Wikipedia:
“Doubling the distance reduces illumination to one quarter”

brilliant: the evolution of artificial light

Brilliant: The Evolution of Artificial Light by Jane Brox, is absolutely…well, uh, I just can’t resist…must not type this pun….brilliant!

I highly recommend reading this book to anyone…super-mega-lighting-dork or not. Brilliant really goes beyond just lighting: It looks at the evolution of human history as filtered by the powerful effect that man-made light has had on our civilizations. The research that the author did is amazing; you will continually be blown away by the detailed historic tidbits sprinkled throughout. It’s a terrific, fast -reading book…really fun.

I had to go to Gap today to return some baby clothes, and what did I see???? Light Bulb Boxers! So of course I had to pick a pair up!

Nice variety of lamps, too…you got the A, R, T, plus some CFL screw-ins and even a metal halide profile. Buy one for your favorite lighting fanatic today!
